Sometimes it crank & sometimes not it make the sound but not kick in but will crank right up with a jump,I have a new battery,what could be the problem?
You might have a bad connection on the battery, make sure there clean on both sides of terminals. the random code might be from this, check to see if the cable is tight on the starter and check the ground cable as well

You have burnt/pitted contacts in the starter solenoid, very common on Nippondenso starters, which the Geo uses. If you can get just the contacts rebuild it, otherwise replace the solenoid and or the starter, if you have really high miles it is better to replace the whole starter with a rebuilt unit from any quality rebuilder, Delco is a real good one, The best price I found was at Rockauto.com, $72.00 for a Delco rebuilt unit. Contacts are availiable from Ohiomotor.com

I would check the ignition control module. It may be firing and missing intermitinly

It seems the starter is playing up.First check if your battery is charged fully or try to jump start and see what happens.If the engine start then it's either you need a new battery or else you need a replacement alternator.Test using a voltmeter if the actual altenator is working.Finally the last option is the starter motor that needs changing or fixing...Hope this helps.

the machine says "random firing" I am going to get a tune up that may help.
